China’s ‘neurostrike’ brain weapons
China is developing “neurostrike” weapons that target the brain and are designed to “cause cognitive damage” and “control entire populations,” according to a new report by intelligence analysts.
The details: The 12-page report details how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its People’s Liberation Army have “established themselves as world leaders in the development of neurostrike weapons.” – which use microwaves and directed energy weapons to fire electromagnetic beams at their enemy.
What is neurostrike? It’s a military term used to describe non-traditional weapons that target the brain in order to inflict temporary or long-term neurological damage.
Dive deeper into the report: It’s titled ‘Enumerating, Targeting and Collapsing the Chinese Communist Party’s Neurostrike Program’ and was written by former Army microbiologist Xiaoxu Sean Lin, former Air Force intelligence officer L.J. Eads, and military scholar Ryan Clarke.
Here are some excerpts:
“The CCP views NeuroStrike and psychological warfare as a core component of its asymmetric warfare strategy against the United States and its Allies in the Indo-Pacific.”
“Their new landscape of NeuroStrike development includes using massively distributed human-computer interfaces to control entire populations as well as a range of weapons designed to cause cognitive damage.”
This is only part of China’s futuristic weapons plans: In late 2021 a senior U.S. official told The Financial Times that China planned to pursue emerging biotech weapons that include “gene editing, human performance enhancement, and brain-machine interfaces.”
What is the U.S. doing to counter? Back in 2021, the U.S. Commerce Department put sanctions on China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences and 11 related entities that were working to advance brain-control weaponry, prohibiting the export of American technology to these entities without a government license.
Chinese military general Sun Tzu wrote in his book ‘The Art of War’ that supreme excellence was “to subdue the enemy without fighting.” 2,000 years later, Xi Jinping is attempting to follow Tzu’s playbook.
